Soft Sensor – HEAD

The part of the body I chose to do a pressure sensor for is the head. The concept that I came up with was an anti-napping sensor that, when attached to a buzzer, would help to prevent in-class/at-work napping. The sensor is a “Z” shape (Zzzzz….of course!) that can be attached to a headband, bobby pin, or secured to the inside of a hat.

Zzzzzz....

The user places the sensor on the part of their head they are most prone to falling asleep on, such as the side, back, or forehead. When the user drifts off and leans their head against something, the sensor is activated and the user is buzzed awake.
